The CDP API Caucus expresses its gratitude to California Governor Gavin Newsom for sending lifesaving supplies to India amidst its devastating COVID crisis. Just yesterday, Gov. Newsom announced that California will be sending to India hundreds of oxygen concentrators, oxygen cylinders, pulse oximeters, and a deployable oxygen concentrator system. The public health emergency in India is impacting the diaspora community here in California, and we are thankful that Governor Newsom recognizes this. Moreover, California has an outsized role in combatting COVID worldwide as the fifth largest economy in the world. We encourage Californians to give to reputable relief organizations, and we send our thoughts and prayers to members of the community impacted by the crisis.
